    For the avoidance of any doubt: I absolutely,wholeheartedly welcome the appointment of Lord Herbert as Boris Johnson’s global Lgbt+ envoy. Nick Herbert is a good, decent, principled man and we need him representing the values of equality and inclusion in global Britain, too.

    If Labour had taken power in 2015, would have been ’s role. New appointee Lord Herbert was a leading light on same-sex marriage within the Tory party. He has more recently warned against a culture war on trans issues “from whichever side”.

    I desperately hope he succeeds – Lord Herbert is a good man - we need to stop the hatred against trans people in this country and have voices in govt raised against Liz Truss and others. As a global envoy he cannot remain silent because the UK is part of the globe!
